Chapter 27-Final Goodbyes

Chad's POV

"Thank you, Mel." I say, hanging up the phone, in a secret location. Where? I can't tell you-it's a secret. You'll find out…soon. *wink wink*.

I suddenly get a call. I look at my phone, and Sonny's smiling face shows up on the screen. I smile.

"Hey, Sonshine."

"Hey," She says, and I hear her sniff. "I'm ready, can you pick me up? Mom said she'd be at yours in 20 minutes."

"OK," I say, "I'll be there in 5."

I hang up, smiling. Connie is in on my plan too, and hopefully, it will work out. I just hope Sonny will be happy…

Sonny's POV

I hang up from asking Chad to pick me up, sighing. I can't believe this day has come. I look through the window of the cafeteria, seeing my cast in there, holding papers, talking. They seem fine without me. What if they forget me? What if I never see them again? My life could go so wrong, all thanks to this. No boyfriend, no friends, I could end up alone and friendless, all because I could no longer stay with Chad.

Chad arrives 5 minutes later, smiling a little, as if he's proud.

"Hey." He says, "You ready?"

"Are you OK?" I ask him, and he shrugs.

"Not really." He says, "I'm gonna miss you like crazy."

"Same here." I say, before being interrupted by a voice.

"Chad?" The voice-a female-says, "Are you there?"

"Not now." He tells it, and I start to wonder.

"What's going on, Chad?" I ask, and he laughs.

"Nothing!" He says, "I'm just…"

"Chad?" The voice says again, and I see a walkie-talkie. He turns it off, jumpy.

"Chad? Who was that?"

"No-one." He says, still jumpy.

Great. My boyfriend is gonna forget me; he's already moved on to another girl. I can't believe this-no more friends, no more boyfriend; I'm screwed. I suppose I should've seen it coming. Chad's like that-moves on straight away. I can't believe him…

We arrive at Chad's house, where my Mom already has arrived. She smiles at seeing me, and hugs me.

"You ready?" She asks me, and I nod.

"Yeah," I say, "Let's go."

"Have a nice journey, Sonny." Melanie says while hugging Chris softly, and I smile.

"Thank you." I say, "I'll call you guys when I get home."

I feel something tugging at my dress, and see Abby stood next to me, looking up, pulling softly at it.

"Sonny?" She says, "Hug."

I smile, picking her up and hugging her tight, "Oh, I'll miss you, sweet pea." I say, and she giggles.

"Sweet pea." She smiles.

I hear a cough behind me and see Josh stood there.

"Hey." He says, "I'll miss you, Sonny. You weren't the annoying quirky girl I expected you to be."

I laugh, "Thanks, Josh." I say, "You weren't too bad yourself. Just…stay away from matches."

"Will do." He smiles.

"Sonny?" I hear another voice say, and turn to see Chad. "Have a safe trip."

I sigh. This guy's moved on pretty quick, sure, I'll miss him, but he was talking to another girl, I'm sure. I guess I'm being a little over-protective, but then, I know what I heard…don't I?

"Goodbye, Chad." I say, hugging him softly, before heading to the car.

"I'll miss you…shortstack." He yells after me, and I smile softly.

"I'll miss you too…egg whites."

He laughs, "Good times."

Mom starts the car and I go to close the window.

"Oh, and Sonny?"

"Yes, Chad?"

He smiles, close to crying, "I'll never stop loving you."

I smile, trying to believe him, "Same here." I say, rolling up the window as Mom drives off. I feel a tear roll down my cheek, as I watch the Coopers wave in the distance. I'll miss them like crazy, but it's time to go. Move on.
